“The hotel's apartment-style setup and proximity to Christchurch's attractions struck me as a practical choice, especially given the fully equipped kitchens. Its location opposite the Edmonds Factory Garden, with its playground, enhance appeal for families. I also noted the generous parking-suitable for larger vehicles-and the easy access to public transit, a real advantage.”
